Manzanita centerpieces

 

Some manzanitas from last months weddings.  Hoping that the pro pics will be much better!  The 1st one has white ranunculus on the branches with succulents, spanish moss and ranunculus in the base.  The 2nd one has orange mokara orchids and green dendrobium orchids with mini green hydrangea, orange dahlias, moss and monkey tails in the base.  Enjoy!

Featured on Style Me Pretty...

It is such a honor and privilege to announce that our flowers were featured on a Style Me Pretty post today!!!

This is truly a dream come true because I have been following and drooling over SMP's posts for years. 

The beautiful concept was put together by Krystel Tien of Couture Events and the amazing images were shot by Joielala photographie.  It was so wonderful to work with all of these amazing vendors and so fun to create such beautiful pieces.

To see more pictures click here or for a full gallery of the details and the rest of the shoot, click here.

"The flowers were a mixture of white hydrangea, lilies, peonies, spray roses, blush roses, dark purple mini calla lilies, pink stock, and large gorgeous gardenias to create the old Hollywood vintage glam look. I accented these beautiful pieces with white ostrich feather plumes and tied the bouquet with a vintage sequin trim to complete the look."

Thank you again to all the vendors!!!

Tenaya and Matthew!!!

I am so excited to post these pictures, Tenaya and Matthew got married last summer at the Paradise Gardens in Oceanside and she sent me the pictures to share with all of you. 

The entire wedding was decorated with antique hydrangea, black baccara roses, ivory roses, black dahlias and dark red/purple mini calla lilies. 

Thank you so much Tenaya for sending these over, you are such a beautiful bride.

NeCole and Jahrod had a Labor Day Weekend Wedding...

This couple is extra special to me because through the course of wedding planning we discovered a few things...

• I went to elementary school with the groom,
• my cousin went to high school with the groom 
• one of my closest friends from junior high and high school who lived across the street from me went to college with the bride (i think they were even room mates). 

Talk about a SMALL WORLD!!!

Congrats NeCole and Jahrod, I wish you two a long and happy life together!!!

Thank you Melissa McClure Photography for sharing your wonderful pictures and thank you Helena Parker of Divine Events by Helena for such a smooth event!
